The boys have broken the dike...and they know it.The Goldman Sachs Bailout Plan passes Congress, just what the "markets" have been waiting for, so the extortion talking points went.The Bailout passed; the Prez promptly signed it into law.And the relieved markets rocketed up to the moon---oh wait!Seems our bellwether Dow Industrial Index, which had been up 313 points before the bill passed, reversed course upon its passage and wound finished the day DOWN 157 points, a loss of 470 points subsequent to the capitulation. Ain't them markets something?This reaction signals Round 2. Round 1 was the extortion round. Round 2 will be the thievery round.Expect all sorts of comments from the Elites--led by sundry mouthpieces of the investment industry--alluding to the fact the the Bailout, while "a step in the right direction" is not a cure-all for what ails the economy. The mantra: MORE, MORE MORE.These guys are so smart that they've probably calculated what each 100 point drop in the Dow is worth in new taxpayer funds. They sense the floodgates have been breached; like in New Orleans, the dikes couldn't hold...and now the sky's the limit.There was some fear a few weeks ago when the new Super Collider was cranked up in Switzerland that there was a possibilty of creating man-made Black Holes during the high speed collision of protons, Black Holes that possibly could consumes the Earth itself. That scenario pales in comparison to what the alliance of Bankers, Wall Street Traders, Insurance Titans and Hedge Fund Managers have succeeded in creating: A Financial Black Hole with enough gravity to suck in, never to escape, a significant percentage of the nation's GDP, all in the name of protecting the Average Joe's and Jane's 401k plans and paychecks.Over the weekend, the victors will be deploying their finest, most erudite troops/spokespeople to prepare the groundwork for additional extortions of taxpayer money. The reasoning underlying the requests will be as plausible, elegant and recondite as those used in Round 1 of this match.Only this time, the boys have an additional $700 Billion of what used to be taxpayer funds on-the-come to finance an even more comprehensive propaganda assault.The Black Hole we've created has infinite depth, prodigious gravity and an insatiable appetite.
